I had been using and loving my kindle paperwhite for the past year and thought it was the business. Love it. I decided to treat myself to the new Kindle Fire and think it was one of my best Amazon purchases ever! This was my first proper tablet and it's just wonderful to be finally able to experience apps! There are sooo many to choose from and from choosing to using it takes about 30 seconds. It's just marvelous.

The menu's are super easy to navigate and within half an hour I had familiarised myself with all the basic operations and was flicking screens like a pro. I'm so impressed.

And as to the books that I use mine for predominately...the covers are in colour now which is such a novelty after using the paperwhite for so long. All of my purchased books from my paperwhite were automatically added to my Fire as soon as I registered it and all in all it's been a super experience. The screen is so sharp and bright and I've tried out a couple of movies and can honestly say I'm blown away by the graphics.

It doesn't come with a mains charger but it does include a cable to connect to a pc for charging. That method can take a while to juice it up though. I already have a charger that I use for my paperwhite so it's not too big a deal for me, just thought it worth mentioning in case the cost of purchasing a mains charger needs to be costed in for anyone considering this.

I'd highly recommend this to anyone, whether first time tablet user or otherwise. It's easy to use and super quality. I love mine so much I've bought one for my mum to enjoy too. She's had a try of mine and loved it so it was a nice surprise for her Christmas.

I feel like I'm gushing but I really, really think this is the best thing ever. I'm so thrilled with mine.

I bought the Kindle Fire in the Black Friday sale. I got the ad-free version for £109.

Buyers remorse hit me after I clicked purchase but decided to give the device a chance, as friends with other versions of the Kindle could not speak highly enough of them.

I'm glad I kept it now. It is easy to set-up, responsive, has a good quality screen (I don't feel hard done by with not getting the HD) and has a great selection of apps for download. You can even 'side-load' .apk files from places other than Amazon should you wish to.

The one flaw with this is the battery life. If you do anything other than read books on the Kindle Fire the battery levels drops quicker than a lead balloon. For a mobile device the battery life is far too short, a half hour session of Angry Birds dropped the battery from 92% to 63% (and yes I had used the 'tricks' of lowering screen brightness and turning off the wi-fi).

As a ereader/tablet hybrid the Kindle Fire excels in every way, except the ability to allow you freedom from an electrical socket.

Quite happy with this KF. It was offered with a £30 discount which tempted me so I ordered it as I was considering upgrading my basic Kindle reader which has no backlight - a feature that was becoming more attractive. The Paperwhite best price was currently £99 so this refurbed KF at the discounted price was a good substitute and has extra facilities. It worked well, mainly used as a book reader, with occasional email use and web browsing. Storage capacity might be considered small but I only keep a couple of ebooks on it at a time, and the battery needs charging every other day or so which I don't find a problem. Unfortunately it developed a fault after 11 days (would not start up even after a 'hard reset') and I have had to return it. I'm now waiting for number 2 to arrive and will update this post in good time. The returns process was ok except that no collection service was offered and I had to locate my nearest collect+ place and physically drive there to drop it off.... a minor niggle perhaps but slightly inconvenient.

I've just purchased my Kindle Fire (not via Amazon) and I'm pleased with it so far, with qualifications. One has to keep in mind that it's an e-reader principally and if you had a basic Kindle beforehand, all your books are immediately to hand. I also got it so that I can for example consult Wikipedia for more information while reading a book, or to read PDFs. The dictionary function on the Fire is brilliant! You just press on a word and the definition pops up on your dictionary of choice (OED British English and American English versions are built in plus foreign language dictionaries). I have another tablet (an under £100 one), which is adequate but the battery life is very poor. The Fire will last around four/five hours continuously I estimate on a full charge, but on standby about three days. Adequate for my purposes.

Now here comes my 'beef' with the device. A few times when I've searched the internet, it has 'frozen' in that it is trying to load but is obviously going to take ages or it won't happen at all! The solution is to switch off and restart. This works and this glitch is a known one. Fortunately the Fire starts in 30 seconds. It's still annoying and Amazon need to sort it out. I'd appreciate comments/(solutions?)from other users on this problem.

I'm not an expert on tablets but it does what I want. True, one has to pay a small fee for some common apps (e.g. Google Maps) but there are still plenty of adequate free apps available.
